I just bought an 8GB and I'm not sure how to feel about this.
Tell me what my reaction is supposed to be, internet.

$100 more.
I have the 16GB iPod Touch and love the thing... I was never into MP3 players and never owned an iPod... It is a ton of space... I have 11 movies and over 190 songs...
In one day, at work, I never get through all of the songs and have only watched the Family Guy: Star Wars parody...
For me... 16GB is huge... even if I go on a trip... I would not need more than 11 movies.
So, this news does not bother me... but it will make others quite happy.

I bought the 8gb touch a month ago...
Edit: Oh wait, prices didn't change.

Nice start but the pricing on the iPhone is still a bit silly.

if these aren't the most overpriced technology then I don't know what is.

Same here. My phone is is on its last legs, but I'm holding out until either the ihpone is at the right price/features, or my contract is up and I can get something entirely different.
Hoping they'll just drop the price to $399 to make the decision easier.

I got a 16GB Touch. I'd like the extra space, but I am not annoyed.... yet

Get that 16 Gig IPhone down to $299 (if possible $199) and I'll have myself a new phone.

Seems like they're consistently making sure that the iPod touch outdoes the iPhone in terms of storage capacity. Presumably to artificially not make it redundant?
Not sure how that works, but I guess if no one was buying the touch they wouldn't be able to manufacture it in large enough quantities.
Boourns!

I can't wait for the white 40GB model.
Wait, this isn't the Gaming Forum...
Storage space is definitely what's holding back the iPod Touch for me. (OK, storage and being poor.) I know it's not easy work cramming the internals in reliably, but I hope they find a way to step up these jumps.

Hmm. Even though I knew this would happen--it still makes my little 4 GB look even smaller.
I'll wait for the next refresh before upgrading though.

Getting ever closer, just needs a price drop and I might bite. I'm glad I didn't go with the 16GB model afterall.
tech lust for the 16 GB iPhone aside, I'm doing alright with the space I have on the 8 GB. I don't consume music as voraciously as some, so a few hundred songs occupying 2-3 gig works for me. I generally have a chunk of 3-4 gig that goes unused. Videos go on all the time, but it's bite-sized stuff and usually doesn't take up more than a few hundred meg at any given time. A few photos, but not my whole collection. Might become a problem I suppose when iPhone SDK is officially out there and I start putting apps on there, though I doubt it.

Finally bought a new PSP, but then pushed the demon onto someone else. Jesus.
8GB hasn't been the issue I thought it would be. I have 102 crispy music videos/movies, 500 songs (all heat) and still have a GB or so left for everything else (ebooks, apps etc.).
I also recently found out how easy it is to replace parts (battery, screen etc.) Short of my current iPhone breaking, I'm sticking with it for now.

This is why you should never buy anything from Apple... Ever.Bonerville High said:
No other companies products get better every year, Apple is unique in screwing you in this regard.
With that said you are inherently a worthless consumer whore who does not deserve the right to complain or feel remorse when something new comes out because it was good enough for the price/time you bought it at initially wasn't it?
Did I get them all?
oh yeah. Apple.. LOL

I have a 16gb ipod touch, even though I have my entire music collection on there I've only used half of the storage capacity so I'm not bothered about the news.

No. Apple's exclusive with AT&T until they aren't. Which won't be for a while.
I'd be tempted to upgrade to the 16GB, but I'd rather wait to see if they make any other changes this year. At some point they'll bump it up to 32GB, and if they improve the camera, the speaker, add 3G etc I'll be on that train. Still, this is great for people who were interested in the iPhone but 8GB wasn't enough space.

it's sad that they got a 32GB flash based player out in the USA before anyone else

Ok when the 32gig 3g iPhone is released, I'm in.
A ridiculous percentage, (close to 50%), of the iPhone sales are pure profit.
Enjoy your $500, 56k-equivalent speed phone whores.
Which doesn't have Adobe Flash Player! Or cut and paste!
OS X is the worst smartphone OS out there. I'd take WinMo over it any day, not that Apple is suffering because of their mediocrity.
edit: I forgot to give a tremendous fuck you to the neophytes who know nothing about technology, and still picked up an iPhone, supporting Apple when it ships a product half finished.
